    DISCUSSION:

    Summary of Nuclear Radiation

    The table below summarizes the main types of nuclear radiation, including charge,
    mass, symbol, and penetrating power. Penetrating power refers to the relative ability of
    the radiation to pass through common materials. Radiation with high penetrating power
    is potentially more dangerous because it can pass through skin and do cellular damage.

    Type Symbol Mass number Charge


    Alpha particle 24He or αα 4 2+2+
    Beta particle e−10 or ββ 0 1−1−
    Positron e10 or β+β+ 0 1+1+
    Gamma ray γγ or 00γ00γ 0 0
    Neutron n01n01 1 0

    Radioactive decay, a reaction in which a nucleus spontaneously disintegrates into a


    slightly lighter nucleus, accompanied by the emission of particles, energy, or both .
